Two common types of thermometers are digital thermometers and Mercury thermometers. Digital thermometers use electronic sensors to measure temperature and display it on a screen, while mercury thermometers contain mercury that expands or contracts with temperature changes. Mercury thermometers are being phased out due to environmental concerns over mercury exposure.
Mercury. Digital.

this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
A max-min thermometer is a type of thermometer that records the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a specific period. It contains two markers that can be moved by the mercury or alcohol in the thermometer to indicate the highest and lowest temperatures. This type of thermometer is often used to monitor temperature fluctuations in indoor or outdoor environments.
The two scales are Fahrenheit and Celsius.
Three types of Thermometer:- i) Centigrate ii) Kelvin & iii) Fahrenheit
to measure different temperatures
clinical thermometer and lab thermometer
1. Alcohol or spirit thermometer 2. Mercury thermometer 3. Liquid crystal thermometer 4. Quartz thermometer 5. Reversing thermometer 6. Resistance thermometer
All we ask of a thermometer is to be accurate in measuring temperature. Although different kinds of thermometers can be used for different temperature ranges.

A food thermometer is typically used for measuring the temperature of different kinds of food. One can measure the temperature of meat, milk products and other kinds of food to ensure that it is stored according to its specified temperature.

The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
There are many kinds of thermometer in use. Liquid in glass thermometers usually contain alcohol (dyed red or blue) or mercury (silvery coloured).
its in the answer..its thermometer...there are two thermometers..Celsius and Fahrenheit....
A thermometer, of which there are literally thousands of different kinds depending on their intended application.
